I was wondering what games have made an impression on people and for what reason. So written up a few simple questions . Please post the game name (obviously) the platform it was on and why you chose it.
1, Favorite 'modern' (post PSX/N64) game:
2, Favorite 'retro' (pre PSX/N64 dont worry if your too young ):
2, Most hated game:
3, Game that surprised you the most:
4, Game that disappointed you the most:
5, Game your most ashamed of liking:
6, Game you've played more than any other (i know there is a thread but its a good question):
Mine are as follows,
1, Favorite 'modern' game: Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time N64, need i say more
2, Favorite 'retro': Lemmings Amiga500, played this game avidly as a kid, it was challenging, fun and funny, 3 things that make an excellent game.
2, Most hated game: Clay fighter 33 1/3 N64, the first game i got on my N64, i dont know what i was thinking when the choice was this or mario 64, i hate it most because at the time i had to save forever to get 1 game and i was lumbered with this for 3 months. Awful controls, graphics, 'humor' and sound. Just so so bad.
3, Game that surprised you the most: Chronicles of riddick: escape from butcher bay PC. When i bought this game i really wasnt looking forward to it that much i disliked the films and especially Vin Diesel. I though it would be at best an average FPS. How wrong was I, amazing graphics good story and excellent gameplay. A pleasure from start to finish. One of the very few games i played through more than twice.
4, Game that disappointed you the most: Daikatana PC, after years of development more hype than had ever been seen, an apparent 'guru' at the help what could go wrong! Well, everything, the graphics were lackluster, story was well pants. The clincher was the mm perfect jump needed to be made on 1 level across a chasm, a straight hour of trying to no avail led to a swift uninstall. So so bad.
5, Game your most ashamed of liking: Pokemon Red, gameboy. Quite possibly the most addictive hand held experience ever, no wonder kids loved it so much. Nintendo managed to create something more addictive than crack cocaine and sell it to kids! Go pikachuuu!!!
6, Game you've played more than any other: Soldier of fortune 2 PC. The best online fps ever imho, played virtually every day for years. Team Fortress Classic comes a very close 2nd, it would probably have won if not for the fact i was on dailup.
